CT scan model may predict surgery need in Crohn's patients
NCT ID NCT05174208
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 300 Crohn's disease patients to see if CT scan images could predict who would need surgery within a year of diagnosis. Researchers built a computer model using 'radiomics' to analyze the scans. The goal is to help doctors start stronger treatments earlier for high-risk patients.
